As a result, we anticipate that the Park and Ride Car Park will be fuller than normal and from earlier on in the day."

[Mike Durtnall]

You could make a pretty decent team from those who played for both!

 

[Clare Spencer]

You just know Sonny is going to score at the back stick for the Imps
Another game of WWE incoming

Brendan W was sent off in the corresponding fixture in August after 2 yellow cards
Lincoln are wind up merchants & streetwise- hopefully we will have enough senior pros in the starting 11 to calm down our younger age players

 

[Sainghin Green]

I'd take another 4-3! What a game that was!

 

[Terry Fowler]

On Sunday I thought we’d struggle to get a result however the transfer window has changed all that and fingers crossed with Tolly back I’m more optimistic now that we can get something from this game.

 

[Frank the Phone]

Hmmm im not so sure. Just not enough match fit players around the place for me. Regrettably I think it will be another loss followed by another emotive thread about the merits of our two respective goalkeepers!

Who do we think Tom will play on the left side of midfield? Or on the right, if Curtis plays left?

 

[Garland Greene]

With our current home form i think this one will be too tough.

 

[Nick359]

With Galloway and Sorinola both out I think they will attack down our left. The new lads having had little recent playing time will need to bed in before starting. I hope MacKenzie is up to it

Not ‘wind up merchants’, just well organised, well coached and have had consistency.
I think we’ll give them a better game than the reverse fixture, earlier in the season, when we lacked cohesion.

 

[Argyle97]

I think we'd need more than just the one goal if we are to get anything from this game

Benarous has played left back a couple of times this season but like MacKenzie, no idea if he's up to it.

a Championship referee for a change, maybe a good thing but who knows as they all seem to have a different mind when they travel on the M5

We will see. Don't remember him from the Swansea game (which is usually a good sign), though to be fair we were so bad that day that no refereeing decisions, either way, would have made a difference.

 

[vibratingspider]

Their form is terrifying. I can't see us getting more than a point sadly.

Always so positive Clare!

How about with new players in this week, confidence, and a bit of luck and we may get a result?!
